Default Plotting a current Date Vertical Line

I have 2 sets of data, Both have an x-axis that is a date and time (12/7/2009
3:00 AM) and the y axis is count. The two sets of data are a current data
set, and a perfect world data set. Both of the data sets look in the past
and the future. I want to plot a vertical line that represents the current
Date and Time (I am using =now() to create that line. The vertical line
works and is positioned on the correct location on my XY plot.

The Problem, the first two data sets rather than being at 12/6/2009 through
12/12/2009 are all the way back at the start of the Excel Date scheme,
1/1/1900. The X ranges for all three sets are formated the same (m/d/yyyy
h:mm), the date reads correctly in the cells but once it gets into the chart,
the x Value for the current and perfect world go to 1,2,3,4. When I look in
the dialog box for selecting the ranges, the values appear correctly there.

What am I missing?
